People always say matt tong was bloc party, or certain element was etc. Everyone of those boys was on their fucking A-game that album. Kele wrote some beautiful melodies and lyrics, the guitar work from Kele and Russel is so beautifully layered, melancholic yet energetic. Gordon's bass tone, backing vocals and groovy hooks were something else, and obviously, matt was just matt. Silent alarm was the culmination of all those factors, give them all their fair shout

Tong's drum work is fantastic but the reality is in a live setting he couldn't consistently keep time. But I will say this, it added another quality to their live shows that is missing in the current lineup. He was like a catalyst for their explosive burst of energy they were known for.

Kele's lyrics and vocals on this album are definitely his best. After this, he started trying to hard to be like Morrissey and the songs suffered as a result. Bloc Party were at their best writing punchy, catchy post-punk songs like this.

@@maxarthurireland I like Bloc Party's later albums but I don't think they ever topped Silent Alarm. It's incredibly tight, amazing performances and production, not a bum track on the whole album. Weekend In The City had some great tunes but a lot of the lyrics missed their mark for me and they were trying to hard to be conceptual instead of just being direct. Intimacy had some cool stuff on it but it was way too dancy and electronic, not enough of that old school Bloc Party sound. And Four was good as well but it felt very scattered, like they were trying a bunch of different genres and ideas that didn't quite fit.
